I'm making progress with names for Hopping-radial-component versions of the Marshal/Cardinal/Canvasser/Caliph, but I'm not quite there yet. It occurred to me that names Careerist/Campaigner better suited the Knight/Camel compounds with the Arrow than with their own G/Mc and Wellisch hex analogues, so I changed the latter compounds to Canterer/Caperer to free up Careerist/Campaigner for the Arrow compounds. Careerist even has an echo of Carrera whose name this variant carries. So I now have Cannon+Knight=Marksman, Arrow+Knight=Careerist, and Arrow+Camel=Campaigner, but this still leaves Cannon+Camel. I welcome any thoughts on naming that piece.
